I want to duel this fella. Who seems to know what I'm doing better than I do. Well thinks he does.
Not automated. Love to see a wiz or ench or mage for that matter hit 5m dps regularly on just plugins/KA. Automated caster groups, even in NOS t2 raid gear, take 23-27 seconds on LS mobs. Melee? 13...
I wanna know who the 3 guys who voted for Shaman are? So I can kick them in the jimmy and stop them from ever procreating.
A game you don't want to play with me is whose the better killer?
any day of the week. But then my groups have unfair advantages being in full raid. Caster groups are absolute junk compared to a brd/shaman/bst - melee build out.
I mean hell you didn’t even think bards were useful….
72 (because i’ve tried a few crappy caster combos) Don’t care. anybody who says melees aren’t better I can’t quite get behind. especially somebody that hated bards……
Let's take it to a PVP server. If this were UO 25 years ago I'd not only kill you I'd loot your ass clean. The difference is I actually have close to 60 toons and 40 in raid gear and I'm talking waning gibbous or better. You just like to hear yourself talk. I'd still rather have an Enchanter for CC than A Bard. A Bard is really only good for an all melee group. They are limited in my opinion. Of course saying that I now have 6 Bard accounts.
PVP is pointless. I have 72 in max NOS t2 and LS weapons.
And who needs cc? I don’t even have mez turned on my bard. I Just tank them.
And ench only is Better than bard for burst in caster. Bard will out sustain ench even for casters.
Blackwhisper and I are tied 1-1 currently with each other.
Do we really need to start swinging the number of raid geared toons argument around? Because the answer is 108 NOS+ raid geared....

what is truly raid geared at this point tbh ls or nothing!
I know but that guy is full of shit and makes me want to pull out my own fingernails. I've been trolled all week for some reason.
You are just very brash in all your posts. But respond negatively when somebody is as blunt. It's not shit it's rather easy to have nos t2 - it's cheap. LS weapons aren't but worth the spend. And we've already shown how you didn't quite understand some intricacies of the game such as with bards. No raid geared caster group will touch a melee group in the game. It's not even close.
And since you mentioned TOL t1 raid geared (which isn't really raid gear at this point) thats half the issue.
I'm a TLP player... never tried the deeper game... but unless something WILDLY changes later on, there's no denying a bard in a group is a huge benefit. Admittedly I also focus on melee DPS, so maybe its less a boost to casters.
That being said, I've never seen casters truly keep up with melee. Even with OOC regen, the fact they have to med and just do nothing for a while just means they fall behind a melee who can always keep swinging.
I actually have a special spot for chanters... its a class I like and I get a real satisfaction turning a big pull into a casual fight. The mezzed mobs forced to just stand there and watch their friends die, one by one.
But as my overall toons got better, the sheer DPS and tankiness meant CC just wasn't needed.

Rogue is my least favorite class.
Their utility is mostly worthless and they don't seem to come out well enough in dps to justify this.
I'm guessing they are also the weakest chain solo class.
It's perhaps for these reasons not many people play them much past the first 3 expansions.
p.s.
It seems like DB could merge the cleric and druid classes into 1 so more people actually wanted to play it. Wear leather or plate ornaments for appearance - up to you.
Clerics are boring and druids can be too weak on heals to get group invites.

Chose Paladin, I don't hate them, but they've gotten the shaft as far as tanking goes and are owed some upgrades.
